Research TEFL Courses & Create a Plan to Teach English Abroad or Online

Researching which TEFL course is best for you will be key to your success as a future ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. There are several factors that come into play, including your budget, your schedule, your timeline, the quality of the TEFL course, the reputation of the TEFL school, and your ability to find a TEFL job online and/or overseas after your receive your TEFL certification.

Where Can I Get TEFL Certification?

Four-week in-person TEFL courses are offered in many cities and locations in the United States and around the world. You can also get TEFL certified from anywhere in the world by taking a part-time or intensive online TEFL course.

You will encounter two types of TEFL courses during your research: online TEFL courses and in-person TEFL courses. Both types of courses have their advantages and their inconveniences. Just know, however, that not all TEFL schools and courses are created equal. We highly recommend you be diligent in how you conduct your research. In other words, you want to invest in a TEFL school and a TEFL certification course that provides quality TEFL training and thoroughly assists you in finding a great TEFL job online or abroad.

We've written a ton about this topic and you can find below a few tips to help you navigate the TEFL industry:

How Long Does It Take to Get a TEFL Certificate?

Most accredited in-person TEFL courses are 4-weeks full-time or the equivalent part-time. These same timelines also apply for online TEFL classes, which are available in intensive 4-week and 11-week part-time formats. Note that any courses less than four weeks do not meet professional standards.

When looking at TEFL courses, it is important that you think about a timeline and create a plan to successfully achieve your goal of teaching English abroad or online. You should ask yourself the following two questions, and plan accordingly:

How long does it take to get TEFL certified?

How long before you can be actually teaching English?

The short answer: it depends. If you can jump into an in-person TEFL course immediately and you plan on working in the location where you take the course, you can be certified and teach English professionally in a little more than a month. However, this scenario is not typical or realistic for most people and we recommend that you allow yourself 4-6 months to get your TEFL certification, make your arrangements, and conduct your job search prior to beginning your job as an English teacher abroad.

Again, knowing which process is best for you will depend on your personal circumstances, where you want to teach, and which TEFL class best fits your schedule and budget.
